Current Affairs The benefits of Brexit Page

[Aberblue]

I don't get this at all and it's one of the things I hate about Brexit. If our own people are saying we should stay in then we should do so. In reality, the ECJ having oversight in matters pertaining to civil aviation safety is going to have absolutely minimal impact on our ability to make our own laws.

Having zero tolerance to ECJ oversight is ridiculous and we should be more pragmatic in our approach to these negotiations.

According to an article on the BBC site, it could take 10 years and cost up to £40m annually to create a UK safety authority with all the expertise of EASA, against a current contribution to the European agency of £1m to £4m a year. If you point this out to leavers they'll do the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and going "Nananananananana". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51783580

Pandemic panic is a good thing, claims Health Sell-off Secretary Matt Hancock. It puts the British into fight or flight mode, which will come in handy -

Go back and read my post which the poster was responding too. I thought I made my feelings pretty clear.

Sorry - I had missed it.
I do wish the current government had a thought through policy.

Treasury figures from Budget confirm there was no £350m a week Brexit dividend

Brexit has in fact cost every person in the UK £1,200 so far, spending watchdog says – as economy flat-lines

But the money is not expected to benefit the public finances as the majority needs to be spent on British domestic replacements for EU programmes.

It comes as the government's own Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) puts the cost to the British economy of Brexit so far at around 2 per cent of GDP a year, or about £40 billion.

"We estimate that the economic effects of the referendum vote have so far reduced potential output by around 2 per cent, relative to what would have happened in its absence," the OBR said in its analysis released alongside the budget.

"Part of this reflects lower net inward migration, but mostly it reflects weaker productivity growth on the back of depressed business investment and the diversion of resources from production towards preparing for potential Brexit outcomes."

Few things to note from this:

1. The Brexit bonus was, and always was, a complete con
2. The government replacing various EU programmes is a clear sign that we actually got quite a lot from our membership
3. And that's not including the fall in GDP
4. That is partly due to lower immigration into Britain

I can't face palm as touching one's face is forbidden, but y'know.

You're a clown, mate.

You STILL refuse to accept, or understand, the simple matter of equivalence, for all your education...

Joking aside, as the article states, not only is their no divided (equivalent or otherwise), it's actually costing more. Does that not bother you?
